13:11 - Rossano - Cathedral


The building has a long story. The original is VI-VII century, maybe related to the monk Efrem.
A second bizantine building was superimposed in the VIII-IX century.
In the XII century it was modified by the Normans (it contains mosaics typical of that period).
An earthquake in 1836 required a major intervention to this and many other buildings in the city.
